One Lovely Blogger Award

The exceptional and thoroughly talented Eva nominated me for One Lovely Blogger Award. I must say I was immensely flattered by this and want to extend my thanks to her for thinking of me. I urge you all to give her blog a look as it won’t disappoint with its content.

So here is what I must do to accept this prestigious honour:

Share 7 things about yourself

Pass this on to as many people as you like

Include this set of rules

Now I must confess I don’t know how interesting my seven facts will be about myself, I hope I don’t repeat myself from other award speeches. I decided to make my seven bits of information that are as intriguing as they can be. Here goes:

Number one – I am a big lover of Italy

My love of Italy began when I first visited Rome. It was such a cultural place with a lot of history that blew me away. I really wish I could visit Italy again sometime and explore. The people I’ve met are very amiable and the food is just divine. And I would love to learn some Italian as the language sounds pretty amazing. Italy is sublime.

Number two – I wish the film industry would quit with endless remakes

I do get that usually remakes make a lot of money, but there are countless other and much better films out there that don’t get the necessary attention because of this. And why remake something that is great to begin with? I am baffled by that, as if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it. I will admit occasionally a good remake comes along and I’m not completely against the idea, but a bit more originality would be appreciated and not just something to make a lot of money.

Number three – I’m probably one of the most impatient people ever

I do believe I am getting better, but if there is anyone that despises waiting, it is me. I can’t exactly explain why I am impatient, it just seems to be a part of me. I know that good things come to those who wait, but there are some cases when it seems doubtful.

Number four – I only ever had one detention throughout my whole time in school

And that detention was actually for something I didn’t do. People always used to say that I was a good student who never got in trouble, though that isn’t exactly true. I was and still am no saint, I just never saw the point in doing anything stupid that would get myself into bother.

Number Five – I will never spoil a film for someone

I have had in the past cases where friends have spoiled crucial points in films and it has completely ruined the experience. I never see the point in revealing critical information as it is really something pointless to do. Just like with my blog, if there will be spoilers I will put a warning to inform everyone.

Number Six – I’m a sucker for crying when watching certain movies

And I’m not ashamed to admit that! If something is supposed to resonate and touch you, it is only natural to cry. I never understand when some people think it is strange to cry when watching a film. Obviously some of them have no heart.

Congratulations on your award!
I was reading your answers! We are alike in some ways! I love Italy! I am the most impatient person now I think that I have worked in the service industry! 😂and I cry when I watch movies. I love a good cry

Thank you for those kind words, Vinnieh. I love Italy as well (1), though I have not been to Rome and Florence for many years. I went armed with a little French and only a school year of introductory Spanish, which gave me enough background to master the entire Italian number system and a few phrases so I could haggle. Since this was a high school trip, we were instructed that this would happen. Someone in Florence still has a Canadian paper dollar bill (we went to coins in 1987, so it’s a real keepsake), and I still have the hand-painted marble picture frame I got at a reduced price in exchange for the souvenir foreign bill. Still got my David statue, too!

Yes, congratulations on another very well deserved award. Have always enjoyed reading your posts, as they include a very wide range of films, which for me is very cool, as I have a very wide taste of movies as well. Ah yes…the remakes debate. Totally agree with you on thst fact. There are times when I think Hollywood is just simply running out of ideas 😊

Aww!!! You love all your followers; that includes me 😀 I am touched!!
You know, I don’t believe in the cliché “good things come to those who wait”; I am a very patient person, but being too much patient has only brought about stress, misery and depression, to me!! 😥
Nothing wrong with crying man, it’s a natural human emotion; and Men are human beings too!! I have cried my heart out, even though mostly when am I am on my own!!
Yeah, I tend to put a spoiler alert, if am giving an ending away; or even something close to it.
Italy ‘is’ beautiful!! I LOVE Europe, in general, my favourite continent!! Asia comes next!! Australia 3rd!! I haven’t been to any other continents!! But would love to travel, if I get a chance!!
And, last but not the least!! Congratulations!!
You ARE a Lovely Blogger!! 🙂
